1 GIT v1.5.4.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * The configuration parser was not prepared to see string
8 valued variables misspelled as boolean and segfaulted.
10 * Temporary files left behind due to interrupted object
11 transfers were not cleaned up with "git prune".
13 * "git config --unset" was confused when the unset variables
14 were spelled with continuation lines in the config file.
16 * The merge message detection in "git cvsimport" did not catch
17 a message that began with "Merge...".
19 * "git status" suggests "git rm --cached" for unstaging the
20 earlier "git add" before the initial commit.
22 * "git status" output was incorrect during a partial commit.
24 * "git bisect" refused to start when the HEAD was detached.
26 * "git bisect" allowed a wildcard character in the commit
27 message expanded while writing its log file.
29 * Manual pages were not formatted correctly with docbook xsl
30 1.72; added a workaround.
32 * "git-commit -C $tag" used to work but rewrite in C done in
33 1.5.4 broke it. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
35 * An entry in the .gitattributes file that names a pattern in a
36 subdirectory of the directory it is in did not match
37 correctly (e.g. pattern "b/*.c" in "a/.gitattributes" should
38 match "a/b/foo.c" but it didn't). This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
40 * Customized color specification was parsed incorrectly when
41 numeric color values are used. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
43 * http transport misbehaved when linked with curl-gnutls.
